Here is the thread you have been waiting on. The book opens now and will close at midnight on Friday 20/Saturday 21 March 2014
Predictions should be in three parts
1. The day and date of EJ's arrival on the Loch Garten nest.
2. The time of day
3. Will EJ be carrying a fish?
So let the guessing begin.
One guess per forum member. Best of luck everyone.
Previous return dates for EJ are to be found here
Here is EJ's arrival last year at 1.25pm on Monday 24 March 2014

Tiger may I echo Limpy and June in thanking you for the hard work it must involve.
Tiger - I echo all the others above in thanking you for all your hard work. It is great fun guessing the date of EJ's arrival and I was one of the successful guesses last year!
O no, I only just spotted the competition! I know it's too late to enter officially but as EJ is not here yet, I'm going to have a guess anyway just for the hell of it! (and maybe Tiger will take pity...)
EJ will arrive Friday 27 March at 4.38 pm with a fish
Chocoholix shiny new 2018 Interactive Osprey & Chick Chart! (with clickable links!)
Well done, Tiger - that's quite a list of guesses! I hope you do include Chocoholix.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Excellent work on that, Tiger :). Will be fun playing 'lookout' over the next few days ..................

You're a wonderful man, Tiger. Chocoholix will be delighted!
Good morning dear fellow ospreyholics,
I did not expect to stay the "first guesser". But of course I will be right... ;-)
But whenever EJ arrives, I will be totally happy to see here at home save and sound!
A big part of me hopes you are right, Pica - I'm so looking forward to seeing her, the sooner the better.
